When United Hebrew Congregation’s Sacred Places team prepared the synagogue’s case statement, we wanted to highlight the contributions of the Terre Haute Jewish business community.
We asked Bill Gilmore to share a memory from the Shultz Store. The following is his story. Enjoy.
Another month has passed and as you read this I’m sure you all had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends.
The Hanukkah Gift Shop is stocked with new items for you to select for the holiday. Hanukkah is such a meaningful time of the year.
In just a week or so, we will be reading about Joseph and his coat of many colors. We all know the story: Joseph receives a coat with many colors and his brothers are most jealous and throw Joseph in a pit.
Whenever I read or hear this story, I think of Donny Osmond, who played Joseph in the musical, Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Such a beautiful coat caused so much trouble!
Veterans Day holds special significance for Student Rabbi and U.S. Army Capt. Aaron Rozovsky, who served United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute during the 2016-17 academic year.
Aaron, who has completed deployments in Cuba and Afghanistan, filled the Westminster Village community room last year for a special Veterans Day Shabbat service.
The event’s success invited a repeat performance, and Aaron returned this Veterans Day, in fatigues and camouflage yarmulke, to celebrate Shabbat with the retirement community and guests.
Aaron also took the opportunity to re-connect with his former congregation and conduct evening Shabbat services at Temple Israel. He recently completed two weeks’ active duty in South Carolina and is in his final year at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati.
